Jeremias 27
1 Sa pasimula ng paghahari ni Jehoiakim na anak ni Josias, na hari ng Juda, dumating ang salitang ito kay Jeremias mula kay Yahweh.
THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH HE SPOKE AGAINST BABYLON.
2 Ito ang sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, “Gumawa ka ng mga tanikala at pamatok para sa iyong sarili. Ilagay mo ang mga ito sa iyong leeg.
Proclaim you amongst the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress [them] not: say you, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up.
3 At ipadala mo ang mga ito sa hari ng Edom, sa hari ng Moab, sa hari ng mga Amonita, sa hari ng Tiro, at sa hari ng Sidon. Ipadala mo ang mga ito sa pamamagitan ng mga kamay ng mga sugo ng hari na pumunta sa Jerusalem kay Zedekias na hari ng Juda.
For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast.
4 Magbigay ka ng mga utos sa kanila para sa kanilang mga panginoon at sabihin, 'Sinabi ito ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo, ang Diyos ng Israel: Ganito ang dapat ninyong sabihin sa inyong mga panginoon,
In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
5 “Ako mismo ang gumawa ng lupa sa pamamagitan ng aking dakilang kapangyarihan at ng aking nakataas na braso. Ginawa ko rin ang mga tao at mga hayop sa lupa at ibibigay ko ito sa sinumang nararapat sa aking paningin.
They shall ask the way till [they come to] Sion, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten.
6 Kaya ngayon, ako mismo ang magbibigay ng lahat ng lupaing ito sa kamay ni Nebucadnezar, ang hari ng Babilonia, na aking lingkod. Gayundin, ibinibigay ko sa kaniya ang mga bagay na nabubuhay sa mga parang upang maglingkod sa kaniya.
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.
7 Sapagkat maglilingkod sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga bansa, sa kaniyang mga anak at sa kaniyang mga apo hanggang sa dumating ang panahon na magwakas ang kaniyang lupain. At maraming bansa at mga makapangyarihang hari ang tatalo sa kaniya.
All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers [had] a pasture of righteousness.
8 Kaya ang bansa at kahariang hindi maglilingkod kay Nebucadnezar, na hari ng Babilonia at hindi maglalagay ng kaniyang leeg sa pamatok ng hari ng Babilonia, parurusahan ko ang bansang iyon sa pamamagitan ng espada, taggutom at salot hanggang sa mawasak ko sila sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kamay. Ito ang pahayag ni Yahweh.
Flee you out of the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans, and go forth, and be as serpents before sleep.
9 At kayo! Itigil na ninyo ang pakikinig sa inyong mga propeta, sa inyong mga manghuhula, sa mga nagpapaliwanag ng inyong mga panaginip at sa mga salamangkero na nagsasalita sa inyo at sinasabi, 'Huwag ninyong paglilingkuran ang hari ng Babilonia.'
For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty.
10 Sapagkat nagpapahayag sila ng panlilinlang sa inyo upang sa gayon maipatapon kayo sa malayo mula sa inyong mga lupain, sapagkat ipatatapon ko kayo at kayo ay mamamatay.
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied.
11 Ngunit ang bansa na naglalagay ng leeg nito sa pamatok ng hari ng Babilonia at maglilingkod sa kaniya, pahihintulutan kong magpahinga sa lupain nito at ihahanda nila ito at gagawa ng kanilang mga tahanan dito. Ito ang pahayag ni Yahweh.”'”
Because you rejoiced, and boasted, [while] plundering mine heritage; because you exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.
12 Kaya sinabi ko kay Zedekias na hari ng Juda at ibinigay ko sa kaniya ang mensaheng ito, “Ilagay ninyo sa inyong mga leeg ang pamatok ng hari ng Babilonia at paglingkuran siya at ang kaniyang mga tao at mabubuhay kayo.
Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: [she is] the last of the nations, desolate,
13 Bakit kayo mamamatay, kayo at ang inyong mga tao sa pamamagitan ng espada, taggutom at salot, gaya ng ipinahayag ko tungkol sa bansa na tumanggi na paglingkuran ang hari ng Babilonia?
by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague.
14 Huwag kayong makinig sa mga salita ng inyong mga propeta na nagsasalita sa inyo at sinasabi, 'Huwag ninyong paglilingkuran ang hari ng Babilonia,' sapagkat mga kasinungalingan ang ipinapahayag nila sa inyo.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows,
15 'Sapagkat hindi ko sila isinugo dahil nagpapahayag sila ng panlilinlang sa aking pangalan upang ipatapon ko kayo at mamamatay, kayo at ang mga propeta na nagpapahayag sa inyo. Ito ang pahayag ni Yahweh.'”
and prevail against her: her hands are weakened, her bulwarks are fallen, and her wall is broken down: for it is vengeance from God: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do to her.
16 Ipinahayag ko ito sa mga pari at sa lahat ng tao at sinabi, “Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh: Huwag kayong makinig sa mga salita ng inyong mga propetang nagpapahayag sa inyo at sinasabi, 'Tingnan ninyo! Ang mga bagay na pag-aari ng tahanan ni Yahweh ay ibinabalik ngayon mula sa Babilonia!' Nagpapahayag sila ng mga kasinungalingan sa inyo.
Utterly destroy seed out of Babylon, [and] him that holds a sickle in time of harvest: for fear of the Grecian sword, they shall return every one to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
17 Huwag kayong makinig sa kanila. Dapat ninyong paglingkuran ang hari ng Babilonia at mabuhay. Bakit kailangang maging isang lungsod ng pagkawasak ang lungsod na ito?
Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have driven him out: the king of Assyria first devoured him, and afterward this king of Babylon [has gnawed] his bones.
18 Kung mga propeta sila at totoo na dumating ang salita ni Yahweh sa kanila, hayaan mong magmakaawa sila kay Yahweh ng mga hukbo na huwag ipadala sa Babilonia ang mga bagay na nananatili sa kaniyang tahanan, ang tahanan ng hari ng Juda at Jerusalem.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria.
19 Sapagkat si Yahweh ng mga hukbo ay nagpapahayag tungkol sa mga haligi, sa ipunan ng tubig at sa pundasyon at sa iba pang mga bagay na nananatili sa lungsod na ito,
And I will restore Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and on mount Ephraim and in Galaad, and his soul shall be satisfied.
20 ang mga bagay na hindi kinuha ni Nebucadnezar, na hari ng Babilonia, nang dinala niya sa pagkabihag si Jeconias na anak ni Jehoiakim, na hari ng Juda mula sa Jerusalem patungo sa Babilonia kasama ang lahat ng mga maharlika ng Juda at Jerusalem.
In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Juda, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful to them that are left
21 Ito ang sinabi ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo, ang Diyos ng Israel, tungkol sa mga bagay na nananatili sa tahanan ni Yahweh, ang tahanan ng hari ng Juda at Jerusalem,
on the land, says the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, says the Lord, and do according to all that I command you.
22 'Dadalhin ang mga ito sa Babilonia at mananatili doon hanggang sa dumating ang araw na aking itinakda para sa mga ito at dadalhin ko ang mga ito at ibabalik sa lugar na ito.'” Ito ang pahayag ni Yahweh.
A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans!
How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation amongst the nations!
They shall come upon you, and you shall not know it, Babylon, that you will even be taken captive: you are found and taken, because you did resist the Lord.
The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God [has] a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
For her times are come: open you her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her.
Dry you up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution.
A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Sion the vengeance [that comes] from the Lord our God.
Summon many against Babylon, [even] every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her [people] escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her warriors shall be cast down, says the Lord.
Behold, I am against you the haughty one, says the Lord: for your day is come, and the time of your retribution.
And your pride shall fail, and fall, and there shall be no one to set it up again: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
Thus says the Lord; The children of Israel and the children of Juda have been oppressed: all they that have taken them captive have oppressed them together; for they would not let them go.
But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name: he will enter into judgement with his adversaries, that he may destroy the earth;
and he will sharpen a sword against the Chaldeans, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her nobles and upon her wise men;
a sword upon her warriors, and they shall be weakened: a sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots:
a sword upon their warriors and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women: a sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water,
and they shall be ashamed: for it is a land of graven [images]; and in the islands, where they boasted.
Therefore shall idols dwell in the islands, and the young of monsters shall dwell in it: it shall not be inhabited any more for ever.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities bordering upon them, says the Lord: no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn there.
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the end of the earth; holding bow and dagger:
[the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy: their voices shall sound as the sea, they shall ride upon horses, prepared for war, like fire, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
The king of Babylon heard the sound of them, and his hands were enfeebled: anguish overcame him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
Behold, he shall come up as a lion from Jordan to Gaethan; for I will speedily drive them from her, and I will set all the youths against her: for who is like me? and who will resist me? and who is this shepherd who will stand before me?
Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has taken against Babylon; and his devices, which he has devised upon the Chaldeans inhabiting [it]: surely lambs of their flock shall be destroyed: surely pasture shall be cut off from them.
For at the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth shall quake, and a cry shall be heard amongst the nations.
